Parliament Outreach Programme Ignites Civic Enthusiasm in Kariba Schools

Pupils and teachers in rural Kariba were treated to an energetic and enlightening experience this week as Team B of Parliament’s public education outreach programme visited several local schools. Mayovhe Primary and Secondary Schools, Kauzhumba Primary, and Matau Primary School in Zvipani welcomed the team with palpable excitement, eager to engage with lessons on governance and civic responsibility.

During the visits, students actively participated in interactive sessions that highlighted the workings of Parliament and the broader structures of national governance. Teachers also joined the discussions, gaining fresh insights on integrating civic education into their classrooms. Correct answers to questions were rewarded with prizes, adding an element of fun and recognition to the learning experience.

“The learners were over the moon to share their knowledge about their heritage studies and were captivated by the legislative lessons,” said a member of the Hurungwe District Parliament outreach team, who visited Matau Primary School on the ninth day of the tour.

The programme went beyond conventional teaching; it inspired students to see themselves as future contributors to Zimbabwe’s democratic journey. Educators left the sessions energized and motivated to nurture leadership, responsibility, and active citizenship among their pupils.

As Team B continues its outreach across Kariba, the initiative underscores Parliament’s commitment to fostering an informed and engaged younger generation, planting seeds of civic awareness that could shape the country’s democratic future.
